  • Otto Jahn, was a German archaeologist, philologist, and writer on art and music. He was born at Kiel. After the completion of his university studies at Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel, the University of Leipzig and Humboldt University, Berlin, he travelled for three years in France and Italy; in 1839 he became Privatdozent at Kiel, and in 1842 professor-extraordinary of archaeology and philology at the University of Greifswald (ordinary professor 1845). In 1847 he accepted the chair of archaeology at Leipzig, but was deprived in it in 1851 for having taken part in the political movements of 1848-1849. In 1855 he was appointed professor of the science of antiquity, and director of the academic art museum at Bonn, and in 1865 he was called to succeed Eduard Gerhard at Berlin. He died at Göttingen. His biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart appeared in 1856, the centenary of Mozart's birth. The work is admired for its scholarly approach (at the time, novel in Mozart biography), and in versions revised by Hermann Abert and Cliff Eisen, continues in use today.
  • Otto Jahn war ein deutscher Philologe, Archäologe und Musikwissenschaftler. Er verfasste grundlegende kritische Editionen zu verschiedenen antiken Autoren, bereitete als namhafter Epigraphiker das Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL) vor, lenkte die Archäologie in neue, methodisch-kritische Bahnen und förderte sie durch seine Forschungsarbeiten sowie seine Vortrags-, Lehr- und Sammlertätigkeit. Als Privatdozent in Kiel (1839–1842) und Extraordinarius in Greifswald (1842–1847), besonders aber als Professor in Leipzig (1847–1850) und Bonn (1855–1869) zog er zahlreiche Schüler an sich und beeinflusste damit die Altertumswissenschaft im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert nachhaltig. Die noch junge Musikwissenschaft bereicherte er um biografische und editorische Arbeiten zu Beethoven und Mozart und schuf damit die noch heute gültige Grundlage zur Beschäftigung mit diesen Komponisten. Jahn trat im privaten Kreis selbst als Komponist hervor.
